V The tickets hitherto known, such as pintickets, having pins to v bepierced through the fabric to be. marked, orthe s c-called clip-ont-icketshaving acclip with one or more prongs thereon, are veryunsuitedfor marking the delicate woven fabrics and senwsiti ve materialswhich arecoming more and moreiut0; use,-;as the pinson'the prongsdestroy the-meshes= of the fabric and cut through the threads-thereofeven when at taclringmthe tickets to fthefgoods or when removing themfromthe' fabrics.

avoid ng the cause of the damage to the goods by using, insteadof pinsor prongs, a wire-bow .for attaching the ticket to the fabricfwere afailure, as thewire-bow, as a consequence of its, elasticity, springsback immediately after the fingers ofthe operator cease to press againstit, :and, therefore, a

solid clamping action can not be obtained 0 by the means mentionedbefore. Such ticket does no tzhold. firmly to said delicate productsbut, will; soon; belost.

In contradistinction thereto the object of the present invention is a,ticket which can be attached without any risk to the goods to even themost delicate, the finest and most sensitive fabrics and the like, andwhich at the same time holds firmly to these delicate products, whilewhen it is removed from the goods, does not even then causeany damagethereto even if it be removed in a hurried manner and without particularcare.

According to the present invention the means for attaching the ticketto'the materials or fabrics to be marked is formed by a stirrup of wirehaving two parallel or approximately parallel wire-limbs rigidly securedto the ticket and extending over the upper edge of the ticket, and awire portion connecting said limbs, said connecting portion forming oneor two tongues which are bent or bendable toward the rear side of theticket in such a manner that the tongue or tongues and the before-saidlimbs are forming a hook with which the ticket can be Experlments madewith the intention of. panying drawingsz' pushed over the u'pperedge'offthe fabric,

said tongue or tongues being furthermore so formed or constructed thatfthey canfbe pushed, together with the fabric, 5 from ,a plane disposed,behind the parallel 'or'fa'g- 1 proximately parallel wire-limbs,.betweeiiioi past said limbs, 'forwards'toa .planejfdiiosed befores'aid'limb's, and can fur therhe ent' down together with said limbs overthe up er edge of 'the' ticket; 'The'ipointspro yl. ed on the ends of"the wire, I ntended at the sametime to be embedded in the material ofthe ticket or many he in such a way that they' fa're located Tbitweentthe front anddthe back of the ticket so as o' prevent an ama e'to thecoast the hands ofthe as istantg o v Two difierent forms of ticketsembodying this invention and showing the features of same areillust'r'atedfin the Figure 1 shows one constructionalfforin in frontelevation, and Figure 2 v is I a section F gure '3 shows in a section onon the line 2 -2 of Figureflj v V v the line 3-3 of F lgure' 1 ap ase intheapplication of the ticket to the"goods,fandFigure 4 shows, lookingtowards. the back of the ticket, the ticket attached tothe ,fabric;Flgure's' 5 and 6sh'ow in frontfandiside e levat on respectively thesecondconstructlonal'formg '1- In the constructional forin shown "in Figures 1 to 4, 1 indicates the ticket, to which a wire stirrup is rigidlysecured, having the two perfectly or approximately parallel limbs 3 and4 directed at right angles to the 5 upper edge 2 of the ticket, andextendin I or pro ecting over it and between the said limbs 3 and 4 atongue 5 connecting said limbs. In the constructional form illustrated,the stirrup terminates in points 6 (see Figure 2) which lie sunk inthematerial of the ticket. 7

The tongue 5 lying between the two limbs 3 and 40f the wire is eitherbent towards the back of the ticket in the manner shown 1n Figure 2 orcan be bent towards it, so forming a hook whereby the ticket can beplaced over the upper edge of the fabric 7 or the like; The tongue 5 isso arranged that after the hook formed by the tongue 5 and the limbs 3and 4 of the wire has been pushed over the upper edge of the fabric 7 itcan be bent together with the latter be rialof the wire.

tween the limbs 3 and 4 of the wire forwards, thatis to say, intotheposition shown in Figure 3.

In order to completely afiix the ticket to the goods it isonly necessaryto bendiback hated at the outer side of the limbs 3 and 4 and which areor can be bent :towards the'back of the ticket in the manner shown inFigured To attach the ticket to the goods'the side tongues 8 and 9'arebent forwards laterally past the limbs 3 and 4 of thewire, that is'ltosay, from the position shown in Figure 6' to a plane disposed be- "forethat plane in which the limbs?) and 4 lie, and the'n the tongues 8 and 9are turned over togetherwith said limbs 3and {of the wire down towardsthe back ofthe ticket.

" Having now' particularly described and ascertained the nature of oursaid invention,

andin what-manner the same is torbe performed, we declare that what weclaim is:

1:. In a ticket for marking fabrics and the like, the combination of aticket, 3a wire stirrup rigidly secured to the ticket and having twolimbs projectingover the. upper edge of the ticket, and a wire-portionconnecting said limbs,said connecting wire portion formingi'a tonguewhich'lies wholly above the upper edge of the ticket and is s acedlaterally fromthe limbs and benda letowards the back of the'ticket toform 1 together said limbs, a hook, said tongue hook, said tongue 'li eabove the upper edge 0 the ticket and being wards to a plane disposbeing constructed and arranged to be pushed togetherwith the fabric,from a plane disposed behind the limbs to a plane disposed before saidlimbs, and afterwards to e bent down togetherwithsaid limbs, over theupper edge of the ticket.

2; In a ticket for marking fabrics and the like, the combination of aticket, a Wire stirrup-the ends of which are rigidlysecured to theticket, said stirrup having two substantially parallel'limbsprojectingover the up per edge of the ticket, and a wire-portionconnecting said limbs and forming tongues which lie wholly above theupper edge'o the ticket, said tongues being spaced laterally from thesaid limbs and bent towards the back of the ticket and being soconstructed that theycan be pushed from their original positionforwards, past the limbs, to the front of the ticket and afterwardscanbe bentdown together with said limbs over the upper edge of the ticketin attaching the ticket to a fabric. f

3.111 a ticket for marking fabrics and the like, the combination of aticket, 'a wire stirrup consisting of two substantially parallel limbsand a tongue-like connecting wireportion forming to ether with the limbsa rtion lying wholly spaced laterall from the limbs so that it can bepushed rom its ori 'nal position forbefore the plane occupied by thesubstantially parallel limbs, the ends ofsaid wire stirrup having theirpoints sunk or embedded in the ma terial of the ticket.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures. H' I ARTUR DACHS.
